History Lesson (AKA Why this Blog?)

A little more about me - My stepdaughter is 8 this month, and my daughter just passed the 7 month mark. I work for a large publishing company in its fulfillment operation. Yeah, I help you receive your junk mail. You can thank me any time. My husband is a computer geek, and given the job prospects in that field, he's heading back to law school in another year. So I'm about to be a single mom (I, too, went to law school, so I know the life he's about to start living!).
